Bath re-enamelling in Upper Wardington, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Upper Wardington

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Upper Wardington included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Upper Wardington?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Upper Wardington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Wardington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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