Questions from Meadowhead

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Bath re-enamelling in Meadowhead without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Meadowhead?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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