Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Ceri, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Ceri

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ceri

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Ceri, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Ceri

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
