Bath re-enamelling near Sandfields

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandfields

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandfields

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common problems we fix in Sandfields

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Sandfields contact us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Sandfields questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Sandfields?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandfields for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
