Bath re-enamelling for Poundisford homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Poundisford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Poundisford customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Bath re-enamelling in Poundisford, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Poundisford

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 entire bath, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
