Bath re-enamelling in Bobblestock, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Bobblestock clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Bobblestock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bobblestock

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
