Bath re-enamelling for Southam homes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southam

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Southam

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Southam?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southam and the rest of Warwickshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
