Bath re-enamelling near Bankfoot

Bath re-enamelling in Bankfoot without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

FAQs for Bankfoot

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you work in Bankfoot?

We do. Technicians travel to Bankfoot from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why Bankfoot customers choose us

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Bankfoot

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bankfoot

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
