Bath re-enamelling in Town, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Town as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Town

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Town. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Town

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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 photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Town?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Common questions in Town

Is it messy?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Town?

We do. We send a technician to Town for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
