Bath re-enamelling for Bingham homes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bingham

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Bingham

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We work UK-wide, so Bingham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Bingham

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bingham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

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. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Bingham

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
