Bath re-enamelling in Mead End, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Mead End

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through 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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
