Bath re-enamelling near Spa Common

Bath re-enamelling in Spa Common, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Spa Common questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Spa Common?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Spa Common?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spa Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Spa Common

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Spa Common contact us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Spa Common. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
