Bath re-enamelling for Ince homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ince

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

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

Common questions in Ince

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Ince, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Ince

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
