Bath re-enamelling at your home in Strouden Park

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. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Strouden Park. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strouden Park. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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