DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Worthen

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Worthen and across Shropshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthen

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worthen use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Worthen questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Worthen

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works

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

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
