Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mace Green

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Mace Green. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
