Bath re-enamelling in Chapel Ash

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chapel Ash

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Chapel Ash

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you come to Chapel Ash?

We do. We send a technician to Chapel Ash for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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