Bath re-enamelling in Collingham

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Collingham, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 affects the price in Collingham

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Collingham. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Collingham questions

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Collingham. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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 a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Collingham.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Collingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
