How we handle bath re-enamelling in The Murray

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for The Murray

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in The Murray

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
