Bath re-enamelling in Etruria

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Etruria

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What we are called out for in Etruria

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
