Bath re-enamelling in Slindon Common

Landlord and trade work in Slindon Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

About our bath re-enamelling in Slindon Common

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Slindon Common

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Slindon Common

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. 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 jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
