Bath re-enamelling near Crumplehorn

Bath re-enamelling in Crumplehorn without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crumplehorn

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
