What we are called out for in Pant-teg

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repair or replace in Pant-teg?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pant-teg. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

FAQs for Pant-teg

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
