Bath re-enamelling near Boscoppa

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boscoppa

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Boscoppa

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
