Bath re-enamelling at your home in Acrefair

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. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Acrefair

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Wrexham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Acrefair

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Acrefair, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Acrefair

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Acrefair?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Acrefair customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
