Bath re-enamelling in Bussage

Bath re-enamelling in Bussage without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Questions from Bussage

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
