Bath re-enamelling in Colwich without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, we can help.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colwich

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What we’re called out for in Colwich

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow 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. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
