Bath re-enamelling for Binstead homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Binstead

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Binstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Binstead?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Binstead. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Binstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
