About our bath re-enamelling in Chetwynd Aston

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

What we’re called out for in Chetwynd Aston

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Chetwynd Aston questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
