What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Repair or replace in Slitting Mill?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Slitting Mill?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Common questions in Slitting Mill

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Slitting Mill?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WS15 postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover Slitting Mill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Slitting Mill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Slitting Mill. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
