Bath re-enamelling for Beddington homes

Common questions in Beddington

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Beddington.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

About our bath re-enamelling in Beddington

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Beddington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Beddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

What we are called out for in Beddington

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Beddington. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
