Bath re-enamelling near Agar Town

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Agar Town

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Agar Town. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Agar Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Agar Town clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking

Questions from Agar Town

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
