Bath re-enamelling near Rowsley

Bath re-enamelling in Rowsley without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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 it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Rowsley

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Rowsley contact us are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Rowsley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Rowsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface 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, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rowsley

Do you cover Rowsley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rowsley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
