Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Four Ashes.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Four Ashes?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Bath re-enamelling in Four Ashes without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Four Ashes

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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