Bath re-enamelling in Tilbury Juxta Clare, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tilbury Juxta Clare and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Tilbury Juxta Clare

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Tilbury Juxta Clare

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Tilbury Juxta Clare?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tilbury Juxta Clare for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
