Bath re-enamelling in Edgwick, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Edgwick and across Coventry.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Edgwick

Do you work in Edgwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Edgwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Edgwick?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Edgwick?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Edgwick. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Edgwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Edgwick

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
