Bath re-enamelling in Chartershall

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chartershall

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chartershall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chartershall?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

If you manage property in Chartershall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Chartershall

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
