Bath re-enamelling in East Street

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

About our bath re-enamelling in East Street

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in East Street

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for East Street

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, East Street included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
