Bath re-enamelling in Blakenhall

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

About our bath re-enamelling in Blakenhall

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Blakenhall

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Blakenhall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blakenhall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blakenhall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blakenhall

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
