Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Marden

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around East Marden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for East Marden. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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