About our bath re-enamelling in Vulcan Village

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Vulcan Village: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

If you are in Vulcan Village and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Vulcan Village

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Vulcan Village contact us are:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
