Bath re-enamelling in Eckington

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling in Eckington without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Eckington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Eckington clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Eckington

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you come to Eckington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Eckington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
