Bath re-enamelling in Woodsetts

Bath re-enamelling in Woodsetts without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

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.

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 usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

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

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Woodsetts

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Woodsetts

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Woodsetts

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
