Bath re-enamelling near Four Ashes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Four Ashes

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Four Ashes

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 the part we put right.

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

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

Repair or replace in Four Ashes?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Four Ashes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Four Ashes

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it messy?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
