Trusted bath re-enamelling in East Hatley

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Hatley

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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