Bath re-enamelling in Tarvin Sands without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Tarvin Sands?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tarvin Sands

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Tarvin Sands: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
