Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coalbrookdale

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Coalbrookdale

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Coalbrookdale

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TF8 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the new finish last?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Coalbrookdale

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coalbrookdale?

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
