Need bath re-enamelling in Twyford?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Twyford, 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 Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Twyford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
