Bath re-enamelling in Finwood

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Finwood

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Finwood as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Finwood

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

Common reasons people in Finwood contact us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Choosing a repair company

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Finwood questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Warwickshire.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Finwood?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
