Bath re-enamelling in Row Green

Bath re-enamelling in Row Green without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Row Green

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Row Green

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Row Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Row Green clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Row Green

Are there extra charges for Row Green?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a smell?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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