Bath re-enamelling in Enborne Row, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

What affects the price in Enborne Row

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Enborne Row, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Enborne Row?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Enborne Row

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
