Bath re-enamelling for Billesdon homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Billesdon

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Billesdon

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
