Bath re-enamelling in Water Eaton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Water Eaton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Water Eaton

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Water Eaton

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
