Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Bruntingthorpe

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Bruntingthorpe

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When to call us in Upper Bruntingthorpe

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
