Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Eastwood, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Eastwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Eastwood: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Eastwood included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Eastwood?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Eastwood?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Eastwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
