Bath re-enamelling in Tilford without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Tilford: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do you come to Tilford?

We do. We send a technician to Tilford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tilford?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tilford

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Tilford

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
