How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Lane End

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a 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. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for New Lane End

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Lane End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
