About our bath re-enamelling in Antron

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Antron. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in Antron

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
