Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Claverton?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Claverton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Claverton: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Claverton?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you come to Claverton?

We do. We send a technician to Claverton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
