Bath re-enamelling for West Handley homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in West Handley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath re-enamelling in West Handley, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Handley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Handley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in West Handley

West Handley: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for West Handley?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
