Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Nottingham, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Nottingham

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?

All of Nottingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Repairing versus replacing in Nottingham

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Nottingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
