Bath re-enamelling in Abington, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Abington

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Abington. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Abington?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Abington: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

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.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
