Bath re-enamelling for Barsby homes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Barsby without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: 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 quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Barsby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Barsby

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Barsby: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you come to Barsby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Barsby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

We cover the whole UK, including Barsby and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Repairing versus replacing in Barsby

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
