Need bath re-enamelling in Piper's Ash?

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Piper's Ash

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Piper's Ash, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Piper's Ash

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Piper's Ash contact us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Piper's Ash: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piper's Ash as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
