What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for Tinsley

Is it messy?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Tinsley

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
