Bath re-enamelling for South Runcton homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Runcton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in South Runcton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

South Runcton questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes South Runcton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in South Runcton?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in South Runcton

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in South Runcton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
