How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tye

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Tye questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tye?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO11 postcode.

Is it messy?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tye?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tye. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
