Bath re-enamelling in Lower New Inn without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower New Inn. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower New Inn

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repair or replace in Lower New Inn?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower New Inn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
