Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hinksford

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hinksford

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Hinksford

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinksford

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Hinksford

What areas do you cover?

All of Dudley, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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