Bath re-enamelling for High Street homes

About our bath re-enamelling in High Street

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in High Street

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in High Street

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in High Street contact us are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

High Street questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover High Street?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

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