Bath re-enamelling near Chavey Down

Bath re-enamelling in Chavey Down without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Chavey Down?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Chavey Down

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Chavey Down: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Windsor and Maidenhead.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
