Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Drayton

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Drayton?

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Drayton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Drayton

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price
