Bath re-enamelling in Coppice

Bath re-enamelling in Coppice without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coppice?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Coppice questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
