Bath re-enamelling for Gratwich homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gratwich

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gratwich, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gratwich as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gratwich

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Gratwich?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
