About our bath re-enamelling in Tuxford

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tuxford and across Nottinghamshire.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tuxford. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tuxford

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Tuxford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Tuxford

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Tuxford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
