Bath re-enamelling for Green Bank homes

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Green Bank without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Green Bank questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Green Bank?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Green Bank. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Green Bank

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Green Bank

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
