Bath re-enamelling near Cowhill

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Cowhill, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cowhill

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repair or replace in Cowhill?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in Cowhill

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
