Do you need bath re-enamelling in St John's?

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.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

St John's questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so St John's is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in St John's?

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

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
