Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pippin Street

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pippin Street. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pippin Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

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 generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we can’t put right

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
