Bath re-enamelling in Blue Anchor

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blue Anchor

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we 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 check it carefully.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Blue Anchor questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Landlord and trade work in Blue Anchor

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

When to call us in Blue Anchor

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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.
