How we handle bath re-enamelling in Milton Bridge

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Milton Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Questions from Milton Bridge

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Milton Bridge

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton Bridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Milton Bridge. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
