Bath re-enamelling in Syston

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Syston

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Syston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Syston and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Syston. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Syston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Syston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Syston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

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

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
