Tuckton questions

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Tuckton?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tuckton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tuckton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Tuckton

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tuckton. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tuckton?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
