Bath re-enamelling for Nonington homes

Bath re-enamelling in Nonington, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Nonington

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nonington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Nonington: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are there extra charges for Nonington?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Nonington

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Nonington. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
