Bath re-enamelling near Pytchley

Bath re-enamelling in Pytchley, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Pytchley. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pytchley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Pytchley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Pytchley

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
