Bath re-enamelling in Ebblake, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Ebblake

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Ebblake get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Ebblake

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Ebblake

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
