Bath re-enamelling near Sapcote

About our bath re-enamelling in Sapcote

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Sapcote

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Sapcote questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

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.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sapcote, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
