Bath re-enamelling in Tushingham

About our bath re-enamelling in Tushingham

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Tushingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

FAQs for Tushingham

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Tushingham

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tushingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
