Repair or replace in Ford?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Ford without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ford

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ford?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ford. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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