10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

West Moor: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens next?

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

Do you come to West Moor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Moor and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Moor

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Moor. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

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

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
