Bath re-enamelling in Moorhaven Village

Bath re-enamelling in Moorhaven Village without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Moorhaven Village

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Moorhaven Village. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you come to Moorhaven Village?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Moorhaven Village from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in Moorhaven Village

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Moorhaven Village. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
