Bath re-enamelling in Eye

About our bath re-enamelling in Eye

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Eye: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Eye. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Eye, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Eye?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repair or replace in Eye?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Eye

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
