Bath re-enamelling at your home in Princethorpe

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Princethorpe and across Warwickshire.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Princethorpe

Do you cover Princethorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Princethorpe and the rest of Warwickshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
