Bath re-enamelling for Ternhill homes

Bath re-enamelling in Ternhill without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Ternhill

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Ternhill clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Ternhill: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work in Ternhill?

We do. We send a technician to Ternhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
