Bath re-enamelling in Ellisfield without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What affects the price in Ellisfield

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ellisfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

FAQs for Ellisfield

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ellisfield?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Ellisfield

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
