Bath re-enamelling in Bescaby

Repair or replace in Bescaby?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bescaby

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bescaby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Bescaby

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

When can you do it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bescaby

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
