Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Radwinter

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Radwinter: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you cover Radwinter?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Radwinter for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Radwinter

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Radwinter. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.
