Bath re-enamelling in Walpole Highway, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Walpole Highway

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walpole Highway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walpole Highway

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
