Landlords, agents and businesses in Wardley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wardley

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wardley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we’re called out for in Wardley

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Wardley questions

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wardley

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
