About our bath re-enamelling in Arkley

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Arkley

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Arkley customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Arkley questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
