DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Wainscott without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Keep suction mats out of the bath
Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Wainscott

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Wainscott?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
