Bath re-enamelling in Highfields Caldecote

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Highfields Caldecote

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Common problems we fix in Highfields Caldecote

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to compare quotes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace in Highfields Caldecote?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Highfields Caldecote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
