Book bath re-enamelling in Heights

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Heights

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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.

FAQs for Heights

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Heights

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
