Bath re-enamelling near Redisham

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Redisham

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Redisham

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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 removes more of the surface.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Redisham

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
