Bath re-enamelling near Caswell

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Caswell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Caswell without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caswell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Caswell

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.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA3 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Caswell?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Caswell

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
