How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rushton Spencer

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Rushton Spencer

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Rushton Spencer

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
