Questions from Arleston

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Arleston

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Arleston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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