10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Toll Bar End

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace in Toll Bar End?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Toll Bar End

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Toll Bar End?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally the cheaper route.
