Bath re-enamelling near Minions

Bath re-enamelling in Minions, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on 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 a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

FAQs for Minions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Minions?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Minions?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
