Bath re-enamelling at your home in Appley

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Appley and across Isle of Wight.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Appley

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

When to call us in Appley

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Appley

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Appley customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Appley

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Appley. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Appley questions

Do you work in Appley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Appley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PO33 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
