How we handle bath re-enamelling in Smallwood

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Roll-top bath being refinished by a Surface Doctor technician

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Smallwood questions

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire East.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What we’re called out for in Smallwood

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Smallwood

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
