Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ingrow

Common problems we fix in Ingrow

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Ingrow, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ingrow

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Ingrow customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
