Trusted bath re-enamelling in Child's Ercall

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Child's Ercall questions

Do you cover Child's Ercall?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Child's Ercall and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Child's Ercall. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Child's Ercall?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TF9 postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Child's Ercall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Child's Ercall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
