Bath re-enamelling in High Flatts, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

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.

When to call us in High Flatts

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Flatts

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in High Flatts.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
