Trusted bath re-enamelling in Preens Eddy

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling in Preens Eddy without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Preens Eddy and across Telford and Wrekin.

What affects the price in Preens Eddy

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Preens Eddy questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Preens Eddy

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Preens Eddy

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Preens Eddy

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
