Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tollesby

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tollesby

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Why repair rather than replace?

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’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tollesby. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tollesby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For a price in Tollesby, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
