Bath re-enamelling in Sandleford, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sandleford?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What else we do in Sandleford
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Sandleford questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
