About our bath re-enamelling in Rumford

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Rumford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Rumford: your questions answered

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
