Bath re-enamelling near Emmbrook

Bath re-enamelling in Emmbrook without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

What we’re called out for in Emmbrook

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

Emmbrook questions

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Emmbrook

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Emmbrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
