Bath re-enamelling in Nutwalls

Bath re-enamelling in Nutwalls, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Nutwalls?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Nutwalls

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Nutwalls?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Nutwalls

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
