Trusted bath re-enamelling in Mankinholes

Landlord and trade work in Mankinholes

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Mankinholes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Bath re-enamelling in Mankinholes, done in place

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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Mankinholes. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Mankinholes

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
