The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Beetley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Old Beetley customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Beetley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Old Beetley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Old Beetley: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Beetley?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
