Bath re-enamelling in Grandborough

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

About our bath re-enamelling in Grandborough

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Grandborough

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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