Bath re-enamelling in Springhead

Bath re-enamelling in Springhead, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

Springhead questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Springhead?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Springhead

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springhead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Springhead

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
