Bath re-enamelling for Coleshill homes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

About our bath re-enamelling in Coleshill

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When to call us in Coleshill

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Landlord and trade work in Coleshill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Coleshill: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Coleshill?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

Everywhere in the UK, Coleshill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a smell?

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