Bath re-enamelling in Pale Green without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pale Green. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pale Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Questions from Pale Green

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pale Green?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Pale Green contact us are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Pale Green

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
