Bath re-enamelling near Colebatch

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Colebatch, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Colebatch, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Colebatch

Do you come to Colebatch?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Colebatch. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
