Honest limits

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fenwick

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

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

Advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
