About our bath re-enamelling in Windmill Hill

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Windmill Hill

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Windmill Hill

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Windmill Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Windmill Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Windmill Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Landlord and trade work in Windmill Hill

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

When to call us in Windmill Hill

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Windmill Hill contact us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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