Bath re-enamelling near Collydean

Bath re-enamelling in Collydean, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What we are called out for in Collydean

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Collydean

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Collydean, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
