Bath re-enamelling near Battyeford

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Battyeford without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Battyeford: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Battyeford. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Battyeford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Common problems we fix in Battyeford

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
