Bath re-enamelling for Settrington homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Settrington

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Settrington

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Settrington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Settrington

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

When to call us in Settrington

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Settrington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
