Bath re-enamelling for Nevendon homes

Bath re-enamelling in Nevendon, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Nevendon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Common questions in Nevendon

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are there extra charges for Nevendon?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Nevendon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nevendon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Nevendon

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
