Bath re-enamelling near Old Dean

Repairing versus replacing in Old Dean

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Dean

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What affects the price in Old Dean

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Dean as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Dean

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
