DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Roe End without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Roe End

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roe End

For anyone letting property in or around Roe End, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Roe End

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Roe End customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Roe End

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Roe End

Will there be fumes?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
