Bath re-enamelling near St Werburghs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling in St Werburghs, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Werburghs?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in St Werburghs

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

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 the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price
