Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aldwincle

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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