Bath re-enamelling near Clifton

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clifton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clifton

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Stirling?

The entire UK, including all of Stirling. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clifton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Clifton contact us are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
