Bath re-enamelling for Blore homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Blore, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blore and across Shropshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Blore, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Blore

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

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Blore

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
