Trusted bath re-enamelling in Healey

Bath re-enamelling in Healey, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Healey: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Healey. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Healey and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

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. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Healey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Healey

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
