Bath re-enamelling near Tolleshunt Knights

Bath re-enamelling in Tolleshunt Knights without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Tolleshunt Knights

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tolleshunt Knights

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Tolleshunt Knights: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

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