How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coney Weston

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Coney Weston

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

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 work in Coney Weston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coney Weston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coney Weston

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
