Bath re-enamelling in Bodle Street Green

Landlord and trade work in Bodle Street Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bodle Street Green

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bodle Street Green. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bodle Street Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Common questions in Bodle Street Green

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Bodle Street Green

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Bodle Street Green customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
