Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Beggar Hill

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we are called out for in Beggar Hill

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
