Bath re-enamelling for Bedlar's Green homes

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bedlar's Green

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common problems we fix in Bedlar's Green

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Bedlar's Green

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Bedlar's Green questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Bedlar's Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
