Bath re-enamelling at your home in Allanton

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allanton

If you manage property in Allanton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Allanton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Allanton?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
