Bath re-enamelling near Catworth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Catworth

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Catworth. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Catworth and want a price, photos 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.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common problems we fix in Catworth

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
