About our bath re-enamelling in Chedburgh

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Common questions in Chedburgh

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chedburgh?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP29 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chedburgh

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

What affects the price in Chedburgh

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
