About our bath re-enamelling in Tower Wood

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tower Wood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

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

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tower Wood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Tower Wood: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tower Wood included. Travel is included in the price.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Tower Wood

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Tower Wood

There are times replacing is better: 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 typically wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
