Bath re-enamelling in Strome Ferry, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strome Ferry as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Strome Ferry: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do you cover Strome Ferry?

We do. Technicians travel to Strome Ferry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Strome Ferry, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
