Bath re-enamelling near Forest Becks

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Forest Becks without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Forest Becks

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Forest Becks

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Forest Becks. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Forest Becks and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What we are called out for in Forest Becks

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Forest Becks

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the new finish last?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Forest Becks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
