About our bath re-enamelling in Eydon

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Materials and what they mean for 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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Eydon. The price depends on:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Eydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Eydon

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Eydon

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

When to call us in Eydon

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
