Bath re-enamelling in Middle Ord, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Middle Ord

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a smell?

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Middle Ord. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • 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 over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Most clients in Middle Ord get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Middle Ord

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
