Bath re-enamelling near Temple Bar

Bath re-enamelling in Temple Bar without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Temple Bar

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Temple Bar. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Temple Bar: your questions answered

Do you come to Temple Bar?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Temple Bar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Temple Bar?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple Bar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When to call us in Temple Bar

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
