Trusted bath re-enamelling in Moretonhampstead

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moretonhampstead

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. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Moretonhampstead

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you work in Moretonhampstead?

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Moretonhampstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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