FAQs for Adel
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Adel
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Adel
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Adel
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Adel
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
