Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling in Belmont without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Belmont

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Questions from Belmont

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
