Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bankfoot

Bath re-enamelling in Bankfoot, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bankfoot

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bankfoot: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

When to call us in Bankfoot

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
