Bath re-enamelling for Worgret homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Worgret

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How to compare quotes

Worgret questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH20 postcode.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Worgret. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
