Bath re-enamelling in Elsthorpe, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Elsthorpe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Elsthorpe

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Elsthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Elsthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Elsthorpe

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Elsthorpe?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are there extra charges for Elsthorpe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Elsthorpe?

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

When can you do it?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Elsthorpe

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Elsthorpe customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price
