Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coddenham

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Bath re-enamelling in Coddenham without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Coddenham. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Is there a guarantee?

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
