About our bath re-enamelling in Talke Pits

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Talke Pits questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Talke Pits?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Talke Pits get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
