Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mambeg

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mambeg

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Mambeg customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Mambeg

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Mambeg?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your G84 postcode.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Mambeg

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mambeg as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
