About our bath re-enamelling in Quarrington

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Quarrington

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Quarrington

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you work in Quarrington?

We do. We send a technician to Quarrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Quarrington

For anyone letting property in or around Quarrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

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.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
