How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bircotes

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bircotes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bircotes. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
