Bath re-enamelling for Beaumont homes

Bath re-enamelling in Beaumont without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Beaumont

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Beaumont.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When to call us in Beaumont

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Beaumont

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
