Bath re-enamelling in Wardhedges

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wardhedges

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardhedges use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Wardhedges

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wardhedges

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
