We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Werrington

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Werrington?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Werrington?

We do. We send a technician to Werrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Werrington. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Werrington

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace in Werrington?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
