Bath re-enamelling near Arbury

Bath re-enamelling in Arbury without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Arbury

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Arbury. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Arbury, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Arbury

If you manage property in Arbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Arbury

Are there extra charges for Arbury?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
