Bath re-enamelling in Collier Row, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Collier Row: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RM1 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work in Collier Row?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Collier Row from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we’re called out for in Collier Row

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Collier Row. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
