Bath re-enamelling in Bergh Apton

About our bath re-enamelling in Bergh Apton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bergh Apton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Bergh Apton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
