Bath re-enamelling for Aldworth homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aldworth

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aldworth

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Aldworth?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aldworth

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aldworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Aldworth

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldworth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Aldworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
