Bath re-enamelling near Borwick

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Borwick

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Borwick

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Borwick: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Borwick?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Borwick

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

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Borwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
