Bath re-enamelling in Arthill, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • 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.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Arthill: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you cover Arthill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Arthill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

When to call us in Arthill

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Arthill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arthill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
