How we handle bath re-enamelling in Offham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Offham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Offham

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
