Bath re-enamelling for Unstone Green homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Unstone Green

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Unstone Green

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Common questions in Unstone Green

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Unstone Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Unstone Green

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
