Bath re-enamelling for Toad Row homes

Bath re-enamelling in Toad Row without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Toad Row

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Toad Row. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Toad Row

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
