DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pilley Bailey

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pilley Bailey

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Pilley Bailey?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
