Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milfield

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Milfield

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: 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 and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Milfield

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the new finish last?

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

Are there extra charges for Milfield?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Milfield?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
