Bath re-enamelling in Cole Hill

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cole Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Bath re-enamelling in Cole Hill, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cole Hill?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Cole Hill

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. 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.
