Bath re-enamelling near Hindsford

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Hindsford

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Hindsford

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 normally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
