Yattendon questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Yattendon.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Yattendon and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Bath re-enamelling in Yattendon, done in place

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. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Yattendon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Yattendon

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yattendon

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
