Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chase Cross

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

About our bath re-enamelling in Chase Cross

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chase Cross

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Chase Cross

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chase Cross, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Chase Cross

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Chase Cross clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
