About our bath re-enamelling in Gadebridge

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Gadebridge

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gadebridge. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Gadebridge

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gadebridge

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover Gadebridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gadebridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gadebridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gadebridge?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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