Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aike

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Aike?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Aike. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aike

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace in Aike?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aike. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Aike. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aike

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
