Landlords, agents and businesses in Torbrex
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torbrex as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Torbrex. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Torbrex, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Torbrex
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Torbrex included. Travel is included in the price.
What else we do in Torbrex
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we are called out for in Torbrex
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
