Book bath re-enamelling in Box

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling in Box, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Box and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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