Bath re-enamelling for Box homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Box

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Box

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Box

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Questions from Box

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes 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. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
