Bath re-enamelling in East Markham

About our bath re-enamelling in East Markham

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in East Markham

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in East Markham

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

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you cover East Markham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Markham and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Markham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
