Bath re-enamelling in Trelew without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Trelew
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 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 often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Trelew: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trelew?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
