Bath re-enamelling in Red Street

About our bath re-enamelling in Red Street

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Red Street as everywhere else we work.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Red Street

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

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

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

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Red Street

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Red Street

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
