Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chiselborough

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Questions from Chiselborough

Is my repair covered?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chiselborough. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Chiselborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Chiselborough

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
