Bath re-enamelling in Measham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Measham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Measham

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Measham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Measham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Measham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
