Bath re-enamelling near Frankley Green

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Frankley Green

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Frankley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frankley Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Frankley Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Frankley Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
