Bath re-enamelling in Letchworth Garden City, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repairing versus replacing in Letchworth Garden City

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we work on in Letchworth Garden City

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Letchworth Garden City get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Letchworth Garden City

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
