Bath re-enamelling in Bradford Peverell

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bradford Peverell

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bradford Peverell

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bradford Peverell included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we are called out for in Bradford Peverell

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
