Bath re-enamelling for Atherstone homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Atherstone

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Atherstone

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Atherstone

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Atherstone?

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Atherstone

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
