Bath re-enamelling in Beechdale, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Beechdale as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 generally the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common problems we fix in Beechdale

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Common questions in Beechdale

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Beechdale

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beechdale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
