Bath re-enamelling near Bicker

Bath re-enamelling in Bicker without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bicker as everywhere else we work.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Bicker

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Landlord and trade work in Bicker

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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Bicker

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Bicker. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

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

What we are called out for in Bicker

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Bicker contact us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
