Bath re-enamelling for Weeley Heath homes

Bath re-enamelling in Weeley Heath, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Weeley Heath

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Common reasons people in Weeley Heath contact us are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Weeley Heath

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Weeley Heath: your questions answered

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Do you work in Weeley Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Weeley Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Weeley Heath

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
