Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Ebley without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Ebley

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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