Bath re-enamelling near Rainworth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rainworth

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Rainworth

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Rainworth questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NG21 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Rainworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Rainworth?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Rainworth customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rainworth. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
