Bath re-enamelling in Bourton without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

FAQs for Bourton

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Bourton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bourton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When to call us in Bourton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
