How we handle bath re-enamelling in Market Drayton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Market Drayton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Market Drayton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Market Drayton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Market Drayton included. Travel is included in the price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Market Drayton

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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