Bath re-enamelling near Single Street

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

About our bath re-enamelling in Single Street

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Single Street?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Single Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Single Street

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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