Bath re-enamelling in Tollingham

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tollingham

We don’t 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 next day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Tollingham

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Tollingham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Tollingham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tollingham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Tollingham

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Are there extra charges for Tollingham?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
