Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in English Bicknor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

English Bicknor: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in English Bicknor

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

What we’re called out for in English Bicknor

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
