About our bath re-enamelling in Corrie Common

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Corrie Common

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Corrie Common?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
