Bath re-enamelling in Halfway

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Halfway

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Halfway

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Halfway. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Halfway

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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