Bath re-enamelling in Carr Vale

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Carr Vale

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
