How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moulsham

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Moulsham as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Moulsham clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Moulsham

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

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 rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
