Bath re-enamelling in Tiddy Brook Meadows

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tiddy Brook Meadows

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiddy Brook Meadows as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Tiddy Brook Meadows questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Tiddy Brook Meadows?

We do. Technicians travel to Tiddy Brook Meadows from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Tiddy Brook Meadows

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
