Bath re-enamelling for Alicehead homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Alicehead

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Alicehead. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Alicehead

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from Alicehead

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

Across the UK, so Alicehead is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Alicehead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alicehead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Alicehead?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alicehead?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Our hiring checklist

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Alicehead

  • Basins & shower trays

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alicehead

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
