Bath re-enamelling for Saddington homes

What we’re called out for in Saddington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Saddington

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
