Trusted bath re-enamelling in Cabin

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cabin

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in Cabin

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Cabin questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

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

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
