Landlord and trade work in Woodgate

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our bath re-enamelling in Woodgate

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What affects the price in Woodgate

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Woodgate

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

Common questions in Woodgate

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Do you cover Woodgate?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
