Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bettisfield

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bettisfield

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bettisfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Bettisfield

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Bettisfield?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
