Bath re-enamelling in Nailstone without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Nailstone clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When to call us in Nailstone

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
