About our bath re-enamelling in Moortown

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Moortown and across Isle of Wight.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Moortown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Moortown

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moortown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Moortown

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Moortown?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Moortown and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Moortown

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
