Bath Re-enamelling in Melvich

- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Most clients in Melvich get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Melvich without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melvich
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s 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 pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Melvich
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Melvich: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Melvich.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work in Melvich?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Melvich. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
