Bath re-enamelling in Upper Framilode, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Upper Framilode

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Framilode

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Upper Framilode, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Upper Framilode

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Upper Framilode and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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