About our bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Moat

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

FAQs for Bishop's Moat

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bishop's Moat?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bishop's Moat. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Moat

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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