Bath re-enamelling for Areley Kings homes

Areley Kings: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a smell?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Areley Kings

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Areley Kings

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Areley Kings, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
