Woburn Sands questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woburn Sands.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Woburn Sands?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woburn Sands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Bath re-enamelling in Woburn Sands, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Woburn Sands?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Woburn Sands

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Woburn Sands?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Woburn Sands

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
