Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ibstone

Bath re-enamelling in Ibstone, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ibstone. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ibstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ibstone

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 won’t last.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ibstone

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
