Bath re-enamelling in Barrs Court

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrs Court

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

Barrs Court: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
