Book bath re-enamelling in Mickley

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Mickley without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Mickley

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Common questions in Mickley

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
