How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Melton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Little Melton customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Melton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Most clients in Little Melton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Little Melton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
