Need bath re-enamelling in Tantany?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Tantany, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Tantany: your questions answered

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Tantany?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tantany from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tantany?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
