What affects the price in Upminster Bridge

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Upminster Bridge

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Upminster Bridge

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Upminster Bridge

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upminster Bridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
