Bath re-enamelling for North Rode homes

What affects the price in North Rode

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including North Rode. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CW12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in North Rode

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for North Rode

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for North Rode?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Rode

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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