Q/ My bath is in a very poor condition the surface is badly chipped worn away in places, rusty and rough to the touch, how will it look after resurfacing?
A/ As near as possible to a new bath, all chipped rusty and worn areas will be treated prior to resurfacing. Note that certain original characteristics in the bath surface such as surface contouring and miniscule black specks (Pinholes) may still be evident in certain baths, these are in the original cast and no way detrimental to the use or the service life of the resurfaced bath.

 

Q/ Will my bath have to be removed for re surfacing?
A/ No, we come to you and the bath is resurfaced in situ (Please Note not the garage or outbuildings)!!

Q/ How long will it take to resurface my bath?
A/ It takes about 4 to 5 hours to resurface a standard bath.
 

Q/ How soon can I use my bath after resurfacing?
A/ Your bath is back in use after only 48 hours.


Q/ Are there any smells, odours or dust associated with the resurfacing?
A/ We seal off the bathroom and use an extractor whilst the work is being carried out so very little odour or dust escapes the bathroom.

Q/ Will my bath taps, waste and overflow have to be removed?
A/ No, one main advantage of resurfacing is to save you the high cost of plumbing. We will not damage your existing bath taps, waste or overflow.

Q/ I have just redecorated my bathroom will your operator take care when resurfacing my bath?
A/ Yes, all your tiles, decor and carpets will be protected during the resurfacing process.

Q/ I am re-tiling my bathroom, should I have my bath resurfaced before or after?
A/ After is best as we won't damage your new tiles, but we would advise that the final sealant around the edge of the bath is applied after resurfacing.

Q/ I am re-designing my bathroom involving substantial building work e.g. plastering, new floor, moving of WC & wash hand basin, new window, door etc. Should I have my bath resurfaced before during or after this work?
A/ Definitely after as successful bath resurfacing cannot be achieved in building site conditions and our operators are instructed not to commence work if these conditions apply.

Q/ How do I clean and maintain a resurfaced bath?
A/ The same as a new bath. We recommend that you clean it with a non abrasive cream / liquid cleaner or bathroom mousse (always follow manufactures instructions). Do not allow your taps to drip and wipe away any excess standing water. See Care for your bath

Q/ How long does a resurfaced bath last?
A/ The average life expectancy of a resurfaced bath With the correct after care is 7 to 10 years however we have resurfaced bathes over 15 years ago that are still going strong ,another of the advantages of resurfacing is that when the bath eventually starts to look worn it can be resurfaced again.

Q/ What should I do prior to your operator’s arrival?
A/ We require all shower screens and plastic soap bars to be removed and the wall behind to be in good order, if you are unable to do this yourself, you may request that our operator remove these items for you but the operator cannot be held responsible for any damage that may be caused, as sometimes these items have been in place for many years and can be difficult to remove. Please note that we are not responsible for the re-installation of any removed fittings. Also it is extremely helpful to remove any non fitted bathroom furniture, all toiletries and personal items from the bathroom.
