Bath re-enamelling for College Milton homes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath re-enamelling in College Milton, done in place

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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in College Milton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in College Milton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Common problems we fix in College Milton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
