Trusted bath re-enamelling in Catteralslane

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling in Catteralslane, done in place

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 Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Common problems we fix in Catteralslane

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Catteralslane

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
