Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tarvin

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Bath re-enamelling in Tarvin, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Tarvin

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Tarvin

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarvin as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Tarvin

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Tarvin

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tarvin?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Tarvin?

We do. We send a technician to Tarvin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Tarvin?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
