What affects the price in Wolvey Heath

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling in Wolvey Heath without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Wolvey Heath?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Wolvey Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wolvey Heath

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Wolvey Heath contact us are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Wolvey Heath

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
