How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eye

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Eye

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Eye

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

Repairing versus replacing in Eye

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. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Eye. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Eye, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Eye: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
