Bath re-enamelling for Tedburn St Mary homes

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tedburn St Mary

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tedburn St Mary

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Tedburn St Mary: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tedburn St Mary?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work in Tedburn St Mary?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tedburn St Mary from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairs by material

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 is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
