Bath re-enamelling for Garth homes

Repair or replace in Garth?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Bath re-enamelling in Garth, done in place

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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Garth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Garth. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Garth

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Garth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Garth: your questions answered

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
