Bath re-enamelling in Putley Green without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Putley Green and across Herefordshire.

Common questions in Putley Green

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Putley Green?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Putley Green

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Putley Green?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Putley Green

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
