Bath re-enamelling near Costhorpe

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Costhorpe

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Costhorpe: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What we are called out for in Costhorpe

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
