How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bacton Green

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. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Bacton Green questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
