Bath re-enamelling for Egginton homes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our bath re-enamelling in Egginton

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Egginton

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Egginton

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Egginton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
