Bath re-enamelling in Runcton Bottom without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Runcton Bottom questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repairing versus replacing in Runcton Bottom

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Runcton Bottom

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
