Bath re-enamelling in Teigh without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Teigh and across Rutland.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Teigh
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What affects the price in Teigh
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Teigh and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Teigh
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Teigh
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Teigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
