Bath re-enamelling in Teversham, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Teversham questions

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are there extra charges for Teversham?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

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

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Teversham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

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