Bath re-enamelling in Calcoed without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

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.

Repair or replace in Calcoed?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calcoed use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Calcoed

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Calcoed

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover Calcoed?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Calcoed and the rest of Flintshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Calcoed included. Travel is included in the price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
