How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our bath re-enamelling in Callerton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

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

What affects the price in Callerton

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Callerton questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Callerton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you cover Callerton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Callerton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When to call us in Callerton

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Callerton contact us are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. 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.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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