Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fenton

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Fenton, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fenton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Fenton

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Fenton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fenton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Fenton contact us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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