Bath re-enamelling near Upper Clatford

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Clatford without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Clatford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Upper Clatford

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there any odour?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Clatford

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Upper Clatford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
