How we handle bath re-enamelling in Netherclay

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Netherclay

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Netherclay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Netherclay questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA3 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Netherclay?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
