What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Terregles. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Terregles

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Terregles?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Terregles. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
