Bath re-enamelling in Martyr Worthy, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Martyr Worthy questions

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Martyr Worthy?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Martyr Worthy?

We do. We send a technician to Martyr Worthy for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Martyr Worthy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Martyr Worthy

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Martyr Worthy. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
