Bath re-enamelling near Coombe

Questions from Coombe

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will it make a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coombe

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What we’re called out for in Coombe

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
