How we handle bath re-enamelling in Leintwardine

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leintwardine. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

FAQs for Leintwardine

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Leintwardine?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
