Bath re-enamelling near Allanton

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Allanton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Allanton?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.
