Bath re-enamelling for Padworth homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Bath re-enamelling in Padworth without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Padworth

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Padworth 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.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
