How we handle bath re-enamelling in Vicarscross

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Vicarscross

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Vicarscross

Are there extra charges for Vicarscross?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you come to Vicarscross?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Vicarscross and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
