Bath re-enamelling in Tittensor without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tittensor. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tittensor

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Tittensor

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tittensor included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
