Bath re-enamelling in Butt's Green

About our bath re-enamelling in Butt's Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Butt's Green

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
