Bath re-enamelling in Gorst Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gorst Hill

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Gorst Hill

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Gorst Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gorst Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Gorst Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairing versus replacing in Gorst Hill

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we are called out for in Gorst Hill

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
