How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nup End Green

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Nup End Green

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
