Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bury Road

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  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 until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Questions from Bury Road

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Bury Road is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Bury Road?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bury Road.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bury Road. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Bury Road

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
