Bath re-enamelling in Cothelstone

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cothelstone

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Cothelstone

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cothelstone?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cothelstone

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
