Bath re-enamelling in St Dials, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in St Dials

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to St Dials. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

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

Common problems we fix in St Dials

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
