Bath re-enamelling near Sherbourne Street

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sherbourne Street. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Sherbourne Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our bath re-enamelling in Sherbourne Street

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. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Sherbourne Street

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Sherbourne Street questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you come to Sherbourne Street?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sherbourne Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Sherbourne Street

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
