How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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 we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Andwell

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Andwell

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Andwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Andwell questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Andwell?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When to call us in Andwell

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Andwell

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
