Bath re-enamelling in Upper Milton, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Milton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Repair or replace in Upper Milton?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Upper Milton

Will the bath be moved?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
