Trusted bath re-enamelling in Farndon

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

About our bath re-enamelling in Farndon

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farndon

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Farndon: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Farndon?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we’re called out for in Farndon

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
