Bath re-enamelling in Pembles Cross

Bath re-enamelling in Pembles Cross, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

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 is what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pembles Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

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 a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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.

Repair or replace in Pembles Cross?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN27 postcode.

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