does anyone know of any companies in cheshire that do bath restoration> Just got a roll top bath & its in pretty good nick except round the edges a bit or rust and there a couple of bits near edge where enammel been chipped. Any suggestions/ advice much appreciated ellinor
Would you consider travelling to Oxford to re-surface a cast iron bath?
How much did the re-enamelling cost? Would you be able to offer further detail;s of the Cheshire company providing this service. Thanks
It has started to develop a pinkish colour and begun chipping down to the original white base. Can this be restored as I cannot afford a new bathroom at present?. Is it easy to use a kit as mentioned?
i have been called to rectify these kit problems half a dozen times. beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.
the reason for the deterioration may due to poor methods in the first place. call me for further advice CHP Finishing - 07813 007708
or using best practices and best materials your bath can be re coated in situ cost 250 - 350 and you will not have to remove your bath. or do it yourself with a kit cost 40 but the finish is usually sub standard and is a real head ache for the DIYer. call me for more advice CHP FINISHING 07813 007708 Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
You have put me off a DIY job so thank you for that. I think that I will just replace the Bath eventually. But if I change my mind I shall contact you. Regards, Lesley
Renubath offer a three tier service,but with only a 1 or two year gurantee. I have only managed to find one local company who offer a 5yr guarantee,but they have only been in business for less than one year,does not inspire confidence. No one seems to have a show room to show their work and the prices range from £110 to renubath top price of £295can anyone please advise
as always people are looking for the cheepest options, but cheep is usually poor quality. listen to andy as he knows what he is talking about. i have read many of his comments and in the main totally agree with him. those of you who wish to do the job yourself with a quick fix kit are foolish and in my opinion wasting your money if you are looking for a quality durable job. i have been in the finishing trade for 29 years i am time served and city and guilds qualifiyed and to refinish a bath to a high standard using some of the best equipment avalible still requirers considerable concentration and skill on my part, so as you can understand i cringe when i hear that an inexperienced DIY'er is attempting to refinish their bath and also when i hear that someone is doing a quality job for less than £250, get real and call in the guys who can provide a quality job using best practice best materials best preporation and highest level of workmanship. give me a call if you require more info Chris 07813 007708
DIY'ers may be foolish in your eyes, but many do not have the finance to employ your clearly, incomparable skills.
I'm happy to advise you on this and outline the various choices available, esp regarding guarantees etc and most importantly who/what not to use!! My phone number is 07779 320 521
There is nothing wrong with the tubby kit if all you want is a quick fix and reduced price, perhaps just like a person who pops into a local DIY store and buys a paint and grain kit to tart up their kitchen, however if i am asked for advice on how to perform a high quality and durable long lasting guarenteed service i can only suggest that the customer whether a potential one of mine or not should go and get a professional to carry out the work, admitadly there are some who complete excellent DIY projects, however to achive a really high quality job it is not just the opperator but also the product and of course the equipment, most DIY'ers will not purchase the nessassary equipment which enables the high quality which in my experience is normally expected. the last enty to this forum simply suggested that the person in question should contact me for more advice if they whished, this person did contact me today and i was able to provide indepth info on the subject, this person was specifically looking for a top quallity job with a guarentee, incidentally this person does not reside in my catchment area and because of this i will be unable to service him but none the less i gave up valuable time to try and help guide him to getting the results he is looking for, No Profit To Me. great to discuss this issue tho. Chris
Something else I don't understand is how the hell these kit suppliers manage to get a courier to agree to carry solvented materials ..I know of no courier who will touch the stuff due to coshh regulations.
give me a call i may be able tohelp with transport 07813 007708
