Bath re-enamelling in Isham

When to call us in Isham

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Isham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Isham. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Isham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Isham

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 do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you work in Isham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Isham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
