Bath re-enamelling near Cole Henley

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cole Henley

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cole Henley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
