Bath re-enamelling in Bridgefoot

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Bridgefoot, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Bridgefoot without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bridgefoot

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bridgefoot.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

When to call us in Bridgefoot

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Bridgefoot

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
