Bath re-enamelling for Blue Town homes

Bath re-enamelling in Blue Town, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Blue Town

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

If you manage property in Blue Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Blue Town and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Blue Town

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Blue Town

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
