Bath re-enamelling in Hodge Hill, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hodge Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hodge Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hodge Hill

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hodge Hill. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
