How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bishopsgate Green

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishopsgate Green. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the 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 entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Questions from Bishopsgate Green

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Coventry.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bishopsgate Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
