Bath re-enamelling in The Middles

How we handle bath re-enamelling in The Middles

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in The Middles

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for The Middles. The price reflects:

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in The Middles get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common problems we fix in The Middles

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.
