Bath re-enamelling at your home in Jericho

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Jericho

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you work in Jericho?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Jericho and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When to call us in Jericho

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Jericho

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Jericho. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
