Bath re-enamelling near Bignall End

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bignall End

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Bignall End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Bignall End

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Bignall End

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bignall End: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Bignall End?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bignall End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
