Repairing versus replacing in Lower Midway

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Lower Midway customers choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Lower Midway without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Midway

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Common problems we fix in Lower Midway

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Common reasons people in Lower Midway contact us are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Questions from Lower Midway

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Lower Midway?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lower Midway and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lower Midway?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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