Bath re-enamelling near Craven Arms

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Craven Arms. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craven Arms

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Craven Arms and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Craven Arms

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

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