Bath re-enamelling for Eardisley homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eardisley

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Eardisley

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Eardisley

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Eardisley

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Eardisley.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Eardisley?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
