Bath re-enamelling in Paddlesworth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Paddlesworth

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Paddlesworth

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Paddlesworth clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Paddlesworth

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Paddlesworth. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Paddlesworth?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price
