Bath re-enamelling at your home in Maylandsea

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Maylandsea

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Maylandsea is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Are there extra charges for Maylandsea?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

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, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Maylandsea

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Maylandsea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Maylandsea get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

  • Acrylic baths

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
