Trusted bath re-enamelling in Mountain Street

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Mountain Street, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mountain Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Common problems we fix in Mountain Street

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mountain Street

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Mountain Street

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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