Bath re-enamelling for Snape Green homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Snape Green, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Snape Green?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Snape Green: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Snape Green.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Snape Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price
