Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clifton

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clifton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clifton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
