Book bath re-enamelling in Cellarhead

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

About our bath re-enamelling in Cellarhead

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Cellarhead

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Questions from Cellarhead

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you cover Cellarhead?

We do. Technicians travel to Cellarhead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cellarhead

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
