Bath re-enamelling for Ure Bank homes

Bath re-enamelling in Ure Bank without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ure Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Ure Bank

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ure Bank

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ure Bank included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ure Bank?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it 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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
