Book bath re-enamelling in Moor Side

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Moor Side, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Moor Side. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Moor Side

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Moor Side

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Moor Side: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

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