Bath re-enamelling near Double Hill

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • 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.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Double Hill without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Double Hill

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Bath and North East Somerset?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
