Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Anston

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

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

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Common questions in South Anston

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Rotherham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in South Anston

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

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
