Bath re-enamelling near Thrigby

Bath re-enamelling in Thrigby without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thrigby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
