Bath re-enamelling in Frankby, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Frankby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Frankby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
