Bath re-enamelling for Eshott homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Bath re-enamelling in Eshott without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Eshott

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Eshott contact us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Questions from Eshott

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Eshott?

We do. Technicians travel to Eshott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eshott

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Eshott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Eshott and want a price, 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.
