Bath re-enamelling in Clifton without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When to call us in Clifton

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What affects the price in Clifton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Clifton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Clifton

For anyone letting property in or around Clifton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Clifton: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

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