Bath re-enamelling for Shirrell Heath homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shirrell Heath

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Shirrell Heath

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Shirrell Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Shirrell Heath

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shirrell Heath?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirrell Heath

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
