  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

About our bath re-enamelling in Callow

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Callow and across Herefordshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Callow

Are there extra charges for Callow?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Callow

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Callow

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Callow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Callow?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

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 and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
