Bath re-enamelling in Madley, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Madley

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Madley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Madley questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Madley. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
