Bath re-enamelling for Charlton St Peter homes

Questions from Charlton St Peter

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Charlton St Peter. Prices do not change with location.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Charlton St Peter

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Charlton St Peter and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton St Peter

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Charlton St Peter?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
