Bath re-enamelling in Barford St Martin

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Barford St Martin without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barford St Martin

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Barford St Martin?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barford St Martin. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Barford St Martin and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Barford St Martin?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barford St Martin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
