Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Bearton without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Bearton

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bearton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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