How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newchurch

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newchurch. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newchurch?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

Questions from Newchurch

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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