DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our bath re-enamelling in Calrofold

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. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

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

Questions from Calrofold

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Calrofold, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Calrofold

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
