How the visit works

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Colney Street
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
