About our bath re-enamelling in Cavendish Bridge

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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.

Common problems we fix in Cavendish Bridge

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Cavendish Bridge

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cavendish Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Cavendish Bridge questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
