Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterside

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waterside

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work in Waterside?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waterside. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Waterside

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G66 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
