Bath re-enamelling for Bitterley homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bitterley

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we work on in Bitterley

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 usually cheaper.

Bitterley questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bitterley?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bitterley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bitterley. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
