Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lea Heath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Bath re-enamelling in Lea Heath without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Lea Heath

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Lea Heath. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Lea Heath

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lea Heath?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Lea Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lea Heath and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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