Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whalley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Whalley: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a smell?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Whalley?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whalley

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
