Bath Re-enamelling in Bishop's Quay

- Resurfacing from £350

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Quay
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Bishop's Quay
What affects the price in Bishop's Quay
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bishop's Quay. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Quay?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
