Bath re-enamelling for Tai-Drill homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Tai-Drill

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Tai-Drill

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tai-Drill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tai-Drill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tai-Drill?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Tai-Drill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
