Book bath re-enamelling in Melbourne

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling in Melbourne, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Melbourne

Are there extra charges for Melbourne?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Melbourne.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Melbourne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Melbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Melbourne

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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