Bath re-enamelling in Cuffley

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cuffley

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Cuffley

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cuffley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Cuffley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
