Bath re-enamelling in Low Catton without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Low Catton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Catton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Low Catton

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Low Catton

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

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Low Catton: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Low Catton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you come to Low Catton?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
