Trusted bath re-enamelling in Colworth

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colworth

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Bath re-enamelling in Colworth without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Colworth

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Colworth: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Colworth. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

We do. We send a technician to Colworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
