How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Hall Street

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What affects the price in Old Hall Street

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Old Hall Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Old Hall Street

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Old Hall Street

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Old Hall Street?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair can’t fix

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
