Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling in Tisman's Common without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

In a village like Tisman's Common, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Tisman's Common

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

A coating lifting around the plughole
Staining under the taps and around the waste
An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Several chips and rust patches

For older houses around Tisman's Common, near landmarks such as St John the Baptist, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tisman's Common. The price depends on:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The material
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Your postcode, so we can check dates
A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. Somewhere like Tisman's Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath re-enamelling comes with us in one trip.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Have a window or extractor fan available
Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
