Bath re-enamelling near Rock

Bath re-enamelling in Rock, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Rock questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Rock?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rock. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Work for landlords and builders
