Bath re-enamelling near Avisford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Avisford

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Avisford

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Avisford

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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