About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Saltonstall

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Lower Saltonstall

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Lower Saltonstall

  • Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace in Lower Saltonstall?

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

When to call us in Lower Saltonstall

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
