How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barton-on-the-Heath

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barton-on-the-Heath and across Gloucestershire.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Barton-on-the-Heath

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Barton-on-the-Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barton-on-the-Heath and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

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 your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Barton-on-the-Heath

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
