Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tomperrow

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Tomperrow get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Tomperrow questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR3 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tomperrow.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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