Bath re-enamelling near Bullockstone

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bullockstone

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Bullockstone

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

What affects the price in Bullockstone

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Bullockstone

Do you cover Bullockstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bullockstone. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
