Bath re-enamelling for Graig homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Graig

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Graig: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Graig?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
