Bath re-enamelling for Streat homes

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Streat

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Streat?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Streat

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

What we’re called out for in Streat

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Streat. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common questions in Streat

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
