How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Wattstown

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wattstown

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Wattstown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Wattstown

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
