Trusted bath re-enamelling in Etchinghill

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Etchinghill

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Etchinghill and across Staffordshire.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Etchinghill

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Etchinghill contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Etchinghill

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Etchinghill?

We do. We send a technician to Etchinghill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repairing versus replacing in Etchinghill

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
