Bath re-enamelling in Cross Lanes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cross Lanes

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we’re called out for in Cross Lanes

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cross Lanes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Cross Lanes, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
