Bath re-enamelling for Bouts homes

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bouts

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Bouts clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Common problems we fix in Bouts

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bouts

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bouts. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WR7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlord and trade work in Bouts

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
