Bath re-enamelling in Beckley without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Beckley

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Beckley

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Beckley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
