How we handle bath re-enamelling in Earl's Common

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Earl's Common

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Earl's Common

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Earl's Common get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Earl's Common: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Earl's Common?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Earl's Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
