Bath re-enamelling for Bembridge homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bembridge

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in Bembridge

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bembridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Bembridge

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Bembridge

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bembridge. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
