The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

FAQs for Clare Market

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Clare Market?

We do. We send a technician to Clare Market for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clare Market use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
