What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Charney Bassett and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Charney Bassett without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Landlord and trade work in Charney Bassett

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charney Bassett use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
