Bath re-enamelling in Team Valley without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Repair or replace in Team Valley?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Team Valley questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Team Valley. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What we’re called out for in Team Valley

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full 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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
