Book bath re-enamelling in Ford

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ford?

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.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

About our bath re-enamelling in Ford

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ford

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

FAQs for Ford

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Ford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
