Bath re-enamelling near Belle Vue

Belle Vue questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M18 postcode.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Belle Vue.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Belle Vue

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belle Vue

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

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 the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When to call us in Belle Vue

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
