Bath re-enamelling for Common Moor homes

Bath re-enamelling in Common Moor, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common Moor questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For a price in Common Moor, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
