How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Coates

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Coates. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

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 pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Coates?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Coates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
