About our bath re-enamelling in Donington

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Donington

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
