Bath re-enamelling near Windhill

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Windhill

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Windhill

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BD18 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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 the part we put right.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Windhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
