Bath re-enamelling for Rowford homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rowford

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Rowford questions

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rowford

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
