Bath re-enamelling for Paxton homes

Repairing versus replacing in Paxton

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Bath re-enamelling in Paxton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Paxton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Paxton: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Paxton

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
