Trusted bath re-enamelling in Pettaugh

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Bath re-enamelling in Pettaugh without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

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

Repair or replace in Pettaugh?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Pettaugh

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work in Pettaugh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pettaugh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettaugh

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Pettaugh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Pettaugh

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
