Bath re-enamelling in Cheylesmore

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Cheylesmore, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Cheylesmore

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Cheylesmore get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Cheylesmore

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Cheylesmore included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Cheylesmore customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Cheylesmore

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
