Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Cairns

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cairns?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Cairns: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Cairns?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cairns?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G72 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
