Bath re-enamelling for Grange homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Grange

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. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Common problems we fix in Grange

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Grange

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
