Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Metham

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Metham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Metham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Metham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Metham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
