Bath re-enamelling in Copt Heath

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Copt Heath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

About our bath re-enamelling in Copt Heath

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Copt Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

  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.

Advice

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Copt Heath, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Copt Heath

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
