Bath re-enamelling in Clatterford, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Clatterford

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Clatterford questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Clatterford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clatterford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clatterford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
