Trusted bath re-enamelling in Coal Aston

Bath re-enamelling in Coal Aston, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Coal Aston and across Derbyshire.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Common problems we fix in Coal Aston

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Coal Aston

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

What affects the price in Coal Aston

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
