Bath re-enamelling in Smeeton Westerby

About our bath re-enamelling in Smeeton Westerby

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Landlord and trade work in Smeeton Westerby

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Smeeton Westerby?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Smeeton Westerby

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Smeeton Westerby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
