Bath re-enamelling near Walsgrave on Sowe

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Walsgrave on Sowe without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Walsgrave on Sowe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

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

Questions from Walsgrave on Sowe

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Walsgrave on Sowe

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
