Bath re-enamelling in Morice Town

What affects the price in Morice Town

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

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Morice Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Morice Town, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Morice Town

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Morice Town

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Morice Town

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Morice Town

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
