Bath re-enamelling in Iden Green without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Iden Green as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Iden Green. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Iden Green

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
