Bath re-enamelling in Gaddesby

Bath re-enamelling in Gaddesby, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gaddesby. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Gaddesby

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
