Bath re-enamelling near Cawston

Bath re-enamelling in Cawston, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. 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 Cawston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Cawston

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When to call us in Cawston

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
