Bath re-enamelling in Vole

Bath re-enamelling in Vole without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

  • Everything repaired in place

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

What affects the price in Vole

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

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

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vole as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Vole

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Vole contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
