Bath re-enamelling near Tormore

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tormore

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Bath re-enamelling in Tormore without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

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 job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tormore. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tormore

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

What we’re called out for in Tormore

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Common reasons people in Tormore contact us are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
