Bath re-enamelling for Allendale Town homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Allendale Town

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Allendale Town

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Allendale Town: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Allendale Town included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Allendale Town?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Allendale Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
