Trusted bath re-enamelling in Cadney

Common problems we fix in Cadney

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Cadney, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cadney. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Cadney

Cadney: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the new finish last?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
