Bath re-enamelling in Rabbit's Cross, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Rabbit's Cross

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Rabbit's Cross: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Rabbit's Cross is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
