Repair or replace in Coalbrookvale?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coalbrookvale

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. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Coalbrookvale

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What affects the price in Coalbrookvale

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

If you are in Coalbrookvale and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Coalbrookvale questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Coalbrookvale?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
