Bath re-enamelling near Mossend

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mossend

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mossend

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are you accredited?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Mossend?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
