Book bath re-enamelling in Canklow

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Bath re-enamelling in Canklow, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Canklow: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Canklow. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Canklow

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
