Bath re-enamelling in Catmore

Bath re-enamelling in Catmore without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Catmore?

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

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 normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Catmore

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
