About our bath re-enamelling in Springside

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Springside

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Springside clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Springside. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Springside: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Springside?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Springside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
