Bath re-enamelling at your home in Garden Village

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Garden Village

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Garden Village?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Garden Village. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Garden Village and want a price, pictures 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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Garden Village, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garden Village

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

For anyone letting property in or around Garden Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Garden Village

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
