Need bath re-enamelling in Much Wenlock?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Much Wenlock

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Much Wenlock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Much Wenlock

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Much Wenlock. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Much Wenlock get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Common problems we fix in Much Wenlock

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Much Wenlock

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
