Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bushby

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Bushby

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Bushby

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

  • What preparation is included
