Bath re-enamelling in Milford without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Milford

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you a vetted contractor?

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How soon can you come?

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Milford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Milford

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

What we’re called out for in Milford

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
