Bath re-enamelling near Whittington Moor

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whittington Moor

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Whittington Moor

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Whittington Moor

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Whittington Moor: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whittington Moor?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S41 postcode.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Do you come to Whittington Moor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Whittington Moor and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the new finish last?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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