Bath re-enamelling near Chapelfields

Bath re-enamelling in Chapelfields, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Chapelfields

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be fumes?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Chapelfields get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Chapelfields

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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