Book bath re-enamelling in Coombs

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling in Coombs without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Coombs

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Coombs?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Coombs from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Coombs

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coombs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Coombs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath

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 price.
