Bath re-enamelling near Tugby

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Tugby, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on 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 If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Tugby?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tugby?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Tugby questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Tugby?

We do. We send a technician to Tugby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

Across the UK, and that includes Tugby. Prices do not change with location.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
