Bath re-enamelling in The Park Estate, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in The Park Estate

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Common questions in The Park Estate

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover The Park Estate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Park Estate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
