How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bintree

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Bintree?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bintree. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bintree

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Bintree questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bintree

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
