Bath Re-enamelling in Down

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Down

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Down: your questions answered

Do you work in Down?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover the whole of Down?

Everywhere in the UK, Down included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
