Need bath re-enamelling in Tetchill?

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tetchill

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common reasons people in Tetchill contact us include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Tetchill?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Tetchill: your questions answered

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you work in Tetchill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tetchill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
