Bath re-enamelling in Beal

Aftercare tips

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

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Beal

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beal use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Beal. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Beal

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Beal?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN14 postcode.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Beal

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
