Bath re-enamelling in Blue Anchor

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blue Anchor

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Blue Anchor

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the new finish last?

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.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Blue Anchor. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Blue Anchor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blue Anchor

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blue Anchor use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
