Bath re-enamelling for Bainbridge homes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Bainbridge, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bainbridge

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bainbridge as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bainbridge?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
