Bath re-enamelling in Inkersall, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What affects the price in Inkersall

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

FAQs for Inkersall

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When to call us in Inkersall

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
