Bath re-enamelling for Barton in Fabis homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Barton in Fabis

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will 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 key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Barton in Fabis, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Barton in Fabis questions

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Barton in Fabis

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barton in Fabis. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
