Bath re-enamelling in Tintinhull without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tintinhull?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
