How we handle bath re-enamelling in Borras

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Borras

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Borras

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Borras

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL12 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are there extra charges for Borras?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borras

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
