Bath re-enamelling in Potterhanworth Booths without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Potterhanworth Booths

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in Potterhanworth Booths

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you come to Potterhanworth Booths?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Potterhanworth Booths from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
