Bath re-enamelling in Nob's Crook, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Nob's Crook

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Nob's Crook

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
