What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Warren

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Old Warren: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Old Warren?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Warren

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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Warren. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Warren, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Warren?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
