Bath re-enamelling in Erriottwood without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Erriottwood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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.

Common questions in Erriottwood

Do you cover Erriottwood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Erriottwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Common problems we fix in Erriottwood

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Erriottwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
