Bath re-enamelling at your home in Middlemarsh

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Middlemarsh, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Common questions in Middlemarsh

Will the price change on the day?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you come to Middlemarsh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Middlemarsh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
