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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Saltersgill

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Saltersgill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Saltersgill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltersgill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltersgill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Saltersgill

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
