Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cantley

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cantley. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cantley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Cantley

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

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

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cantley

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Cantley?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cantley?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cantley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
