Bath re-enamelling in Countesswells

Bath re-enamelling in Countesswells without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Countesswells questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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.

Do you come to Countesswells?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Countesswells. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Countesswells.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Countesswells, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
