Bath re-enamelling for Tilston homes

Bath re-enamelling in Tilston, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tilston

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Tilston: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tilston?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Tilston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
