Bath re-enamelling near Studley

Bath re-enamelling in Studley, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Studley as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Common problems we fix in Studley

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Studley

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Studley. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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 day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
