Bath re-enamelling for Moorclose homes

What we are called out for in Moorclose

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Moorclose without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Moorclose, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Moorclose

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Moorclose

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA14 postcode.

What affects the price in Moorclose

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Moorclose. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Moorclose, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
