Bath re-enamelling for Plasterfield homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Plasterfield. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Plasterfield

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Plasterfield?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Plasterfield?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Plasterfield?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlord and trade work in Plasterfield

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
