Bath re-enamelling for Minsterley homes

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our bath re-enamelling in Minsterley

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Common questions in Minsterley

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Minsterley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
