Bath re-enamelling at your home in Low Street

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Street

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Low Street

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Low Street: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Low Street

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Low Street

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
