Bath re-enamelling for Cilmery homes

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Cilmery without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Cilmery

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Cilmery

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cilmery

Do you cover Cilmery?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cilmery from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What we cannot put right

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

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

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
