Trusted bath re-enamelling in Astcote

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, 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. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Bath re-enamelling in Astcote without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Astcote

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Astcote

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Astcote

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What affects the price in Astcote

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Astcote. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Astcote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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 we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Astcote

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
