Bath re-enamelling for Albert Village homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Albert Village

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Albert Village

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Albert Village?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Albert Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
