Bath re-enamelling for Oakham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oakham

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Landlord and trade work in Oakham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Oakham questions

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Oakham included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Oakham?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B69 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oakham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we are called out for in Oakham

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Oakham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
