Bath re-enamelling in Littleton, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Littleton?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Littleton: your questions answered

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Littleton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Littleton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
