About our bath re-enamelling in Buck's Cross

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

The process

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’ll explain it before carrying on.

The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Have a window or extractor fan available

Buck's Cross questions

Do you cover Buck's Cross?

We do. We send a technician to Buck's Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buck's Cross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Buck's Cross

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
