Trusted bath re-enamelling in Boulmer

What affects the price in Boulmer

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Boulmer and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Boulmer, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Boulmer

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Why Boulmer clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Boulmer

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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 pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boulmer as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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