Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chenies

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Chenies

Will there be fumes?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What affects the price in Chenies

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Chenies, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
