Bath re-enamelling in Cunninghamhead

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cunninghamhead

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in Cunninghamhead

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

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

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Cunninghamhead

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cunninghamhead

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
