Bath re-enamelling in South Fambridge without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including South Fambridge. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

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

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in South Fambridge

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Fambridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
