Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our bath re-enamelling in Woodham Mortimer

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What affects the price in Woodham Mortimer

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Woodham Mortimer

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Woodham Mortimer: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
