How we handle bath re-enamelling in Deeping Gate

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

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 Deeping Gate

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Deeping Gate?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deeping Gate

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deeping Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
