Bath re-enamelling for Morton homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Morton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Morton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Morton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Morton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What areas do you cover?

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.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
