About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Hale

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Hale?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Hale. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Hale

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
