How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moorend

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repairing versus replacing in Moorend

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Moorend

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Moorend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

FAQs for Moorend

Do you cover Moorend?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Moorend and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Moorend?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
