About our bath re-enamelling in Castledykes

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When to call us in Castledykes

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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