Bath re-enamelling for Fen Drayton homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Fen Drayton

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Fen Drayton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Fen Drayton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Fen Drayton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

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

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fen Drayton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
