How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pickford

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Pickford

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pickford. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pickford

For anyone letting property in or around Pickford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pickford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Pickford questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
