When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Middle Handley without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Middle Handley. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Middle Handley

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
