Bath re-enamelling near Neatham

Bath re-enamelling in Neatham without replacing anything

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. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Neatham

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Neatham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work in Neatham?

We do. We send a technician to Neatham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Neatham?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
