Bath re-enamelling for Coveney homes

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Coveney, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Coveney, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
