Bath re-enamelling in Drayton

Bath re-enamelling in Drayton without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Drayton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Drayton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Drayton?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
