Bath re-enamelling near Eastgate

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eastgate

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Eastgate

Do you cover Eastgate?

We do. We send a technician to Eastgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be fumes?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  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. 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Eastgate

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Eastgate clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
