Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Catherine-de-Barnes

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Catherine-de-Barnes?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Catherine-de-Barnes. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Catherine-de-Barnes

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
