Bath re-enamelling for Babbinswood homes

Bath re-enamelling in Babbinswood without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Babbinswood

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Babbinswood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Babbinswood?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Babbinswood

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

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