Bath re-enamelling near Ermine

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ermine

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ermine?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN1 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Ermine

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ermine as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ermine?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
