Repair, re-enamel or replace your bath?

Bath re-enamelling in Old Somerby, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Somerby as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The material and finish
Whether we combine several jobs
How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Where you are, by postcode
Something in shot to show the size

Questions from Old Somerby

Can you make a coloured bath white?

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Somerby

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
