Need bath re-enamelling in Cordwell?

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cordwell

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Cordwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Cordwell

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cordwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Cordwell

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Cordwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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