Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in New Zealand, done in place

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. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for New Zealand

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in New Zealand

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Zealand use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
