How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tollerford

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Tollerford

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tollerford?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Tollerford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Tollerford

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Tollerford

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
