Bath re-enamelling for Great Denham homes

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Bath re-enamelling in Great Denham, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Great Denham

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Denham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Denham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Great Denham

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
