Bath re-enamelling for Sambourne homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sambourne

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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Sambourne

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sambourne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
