Bath re-enamelling in St Michael Church

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Michael Church

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

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

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Bath re-enamelling in St Michael Church, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Michael Church

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Landlord and trade work in St Michael Church

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in St Michael Church

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in St Michael Church and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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