Bath re-enamelling in Quebec

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath re-enamelling in Quebec

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Quebec and across County Durham.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Quebec: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for Quebec?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
