DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Elmdon Heath

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Elmdon Heath

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Elmdon Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Common questions in Elmdon Heath

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What we are called out for in Elmdon Heath

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repair or replace in Elmdon Heath?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elmdon Heath. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most clients in Elmdon Heath get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

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

Roll-top and period baths

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