Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Aley Green. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aley Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aley Green

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you come to Aley Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aley Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Common problems we fix in Aley Green

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Aley Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
