How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

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 is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Beeston

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Beeston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
