Bath re-enamelling in Fellside

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fellside?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

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. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fellside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fellside

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Fellside. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE16 postcode.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Fellside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

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