Bath re-enamelling in Panborough

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Panborough, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Panborough as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Panborough questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Panborough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Panborough?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
