Bath re-enamelling for Bouldnor homes

Common questions in Bouldnor

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Bath re-enamelling in Bouldnor, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bouldnor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Bouldnor

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bouldnor use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
