Bath re-enamelling near Shirebrook

What affects the price in Shirebrook

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Bath re-enamelling in Shirebrook, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Common questions in Shirebrook

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover Shirebrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shirebrook. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shirebrook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
