Bath re-enamelling in Old Sontley

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Sontley

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Old Sontley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for 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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Sontley?

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Common questions in Old Sontley

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL13 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
