For landlords and businesses

Bath re-enamelling in Norton Mandeville, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Norton Mandeville?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Norton Mandeville

Will the new finish last?

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you work in Norton Mandeville?

We do. We send a technician to Norton Mandeville for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Norton Mandeville

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Norton Mandeville customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
