How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Towngate

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Towngate. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Towngate

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Towngate

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Towngate?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
