Bath re-enamelling near Curdworth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Curdworth

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Curdworth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

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

Common questions in Curdworth

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Curdworth?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Curdworth

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
