About our bath re-enamelling in Tatenhill

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Tatenhill

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tatenhill?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE13 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tatenhill?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tatenhill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
