About our bath re-enamelling in Repton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Repton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Repton

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Repton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Repton

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
