Bath re-enamelling in Tallington

Bath re-enamelling in Tallington, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Tallington

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tallington.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tallington. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tallington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tallington?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

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

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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