Need bath re-enamelling in Tophill?

What affects the price in Tophill

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tophill. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Bath re-enamelling in Tophill, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Tophill

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, 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 most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
