Book bath re-enamelling in Tamworth

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our bath re-enamelling in Tamworth

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Tamworth

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Tamworth clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Tamworth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Tamworth

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
