Bath re-enamelling in Greenrow

Repair or replace in Greenrow?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Greenrow without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Greenrow

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before booking

Greenrow: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Greenrow?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenrow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Greenrow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
