Bath re-enamelling near Barravullin

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barravullin

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

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 most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
