Bath re-enamelling in Bednall, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

When to call us in Bednall

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Bednall

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Repair or replace in Bednall?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bednall

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Bednall and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
