Bath re-enamelling for Harlescott homes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Harlescott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Harlescott

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Harlescott

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What we are called out for in Harlescott

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.
