Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Perthy without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Perthy as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Perthy

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found 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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Perthy

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SY12 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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