Bath re-enamelling in West Ella, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in West Ella

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in West Ella

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

FAQs for West Ella

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for West Ella?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
