Bath re-enamelling near Spinningdale

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Spinningdale

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Spinningdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Spinningdale and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spinningdale

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Spinningdale?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
