About our bath re-enamelling in Idlicote
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Idlicote
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairing versus replacing in Idlicote
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Idlicote
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Idlicote. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Idlicote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
