Bath re-enamelling in Wallend

What affects the price in Wallend

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wallend. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Wallend without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wallend

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Common problems we fix in Wallend

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Wallend: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wallend?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
