Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Coryton, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coryton?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Coryton

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coryton.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
