Trusted bath re-enamelling in Onecote

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Onecote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Onecote, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Onecote

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What we’re called out for in Onecote

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

Onecote: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Onecote is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Onecote?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Onecote for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
