Bath re-enamelling in Blagdon Hill

Bath re-enamelling in Blagdon Hill without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
