Bath re-enamelling for Bodinnick homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Bodinnick

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for Bodinnick

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bodinnick?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Bodinnick contact us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodinnick

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Bodinnick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
