Bath re-enamelling in Betsham without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Betsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Betsham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Betsham

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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