Bath re-enamelling in Morestead

Bath re-enamelling in Morestead, 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 an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Morestead

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Morestead

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

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

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Morestead

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
