Bath re-enamelling for Pilham homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pilham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Pilham

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you work in Pilham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pilham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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