Bath re-enamelling near Millbridge

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Millbridge

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t 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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Millbridge: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Millbridge?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
