DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Common questions in Yardley Gobion

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Yardley Gobion

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Yardley Gobion. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
