Bath re-enamelling in Rugby, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Rugby: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Rugby?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CV21 postcode.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Rugby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rugby and the rest of Warwickshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What affects the price in Rugby

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Rugby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rugby?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Customers usually contact us about:
