How we handle bath re-enamelling in High Clarence

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Clarence and across Middlesbrough.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in High Clarence

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from High Clarence

Do you come to High Clarence?

We do. Technicians travel to High Clarence from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in High Clarence?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for High Clarence?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace in High Clarence?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for High Clarence. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlord and trade work in High Clarence

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
