Bath re-enamelling in Georgetown

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Georgetown without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Georgetown

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Georgetown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Georgetown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repair or replace in Georgetown?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
