About our bath re-enamelling in Tendring Green

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tendring Green

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common questions in Tendring Green

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tendring Green?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tendring Green.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tendring Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
