Bath re-enamelling for Charlestown homes

Bath re-enamelling in Charlestown, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

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. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Charlestown

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What we’re called out for in Charlestown

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Every job is a little different, 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.
