Bath re-enamelling in Maple End

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath re-enamelling in Maple End, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Maple End questions

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Maple End?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Maple End?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Maple End?

We do. Technicians travel to Maple End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Maple End

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

When to call us in Maple End

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Maple End. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
