Need bath re-enamelling in Yarwell?

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling in Yarwell without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Yarwell

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

FAQs for Yarwell

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Landlord and trade work in Yarwell

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Yarwell

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
