Bath re-enamelling in Healey

Bath re-enamelling in Healey without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Healey?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Healey. What changes the price is:

How hard the colour is to match
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

One sharp close-up of the damage
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Details of any past repairs
Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
Primer and finish coats are applied.
We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

Let us know which floor the room is on
Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Common questions in Healey

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Healey.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Healey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Healey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
