Common problems we fix in Elmer

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Elmer, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Questions from Elmer

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
