Trusted bath re-enamelling in Castle Green

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • 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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Castle Green, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What affects the price in Castle Green

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Castle Green. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Castle Green?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Castle Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Castle Green

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
