About our bath re-enamelling in Springbourne

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Springbourne

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Springbourne

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springbourne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Springbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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