Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterbourne Steepleton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winterbourne Steepleton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Winterbourne Steepleton questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
