Bath re-enamelling near Lower Green

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Green

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Green as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we’re called out for in Lower Green

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Lower Green

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lower Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Lower Green: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
