About our bath re-enamelling in St George in the East

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

St George in the East: your questions answered

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What information do you need?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St George in the East

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often 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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
