Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ollerton

Bath re-enamelling in Ollerton without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Ollerton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ollerton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Ollerton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ollerton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
