Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tilney Fen End

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

About our bath re-enamelling in Tilney Fen End

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 work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tilney Fen End and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tilney Fen End. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

Tilney Fen End: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Tilney Fen End?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. 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.
