Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bache

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bache

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Bache: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Bache

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
