Bath re-enamelling in Seething Wells, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

Do you charge for travel?

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Seething Wells. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Seething Wells

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

  • Pressed steel baths

When to call us in Seething Wells

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
