Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tarrington

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Landlord and trade work in Tarrington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What affects the price in Tarrington

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Tarrington

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Tarrington contact us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tarrington

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
