Bath re-enamelling for Overpool homes

Bath re-enamelling in Overpool, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Overpool. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Overpool, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When to call us in Overpool

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Common reasons people in Overpool contact us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Overpool

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Overpool?

We do. We send a technician to Overpool for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
