Bath re-enamelling for Allerston homes

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Allerston without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Allerston

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Allerston. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Allerston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
