Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Redcliffe, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

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

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Redcliffe questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Redcliffe?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redcliffe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
