Bath re-enamelling near Owslebury

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Bath re-enamelling in Owslebury, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Owslebury questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Owslebury?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
