Bath re-enamelling in South Shore

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Shore

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

South Shore: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

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.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in South Shore?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why South Shore clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in South Shore

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

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 quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in South Shore, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer
