Bath re-enamelling in Smallburgh without replacing anything

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 do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Smallburgh?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Smallburgh

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Smallburgh

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Smallburgh

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Smallburgh?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR12 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Smallburgh?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Smallburgh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
