Bath re-enamelling near Colwall Stone

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Colwall Stone

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

  • Acrylic baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colwall Stone as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colwall Stone

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
