Bath re-enamelling in Bottesford, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

What affects the price in Bottesford

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bottesford. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Bottesford

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
