How we handle bath re-enamelling in Findern

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Findern. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Findern

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Findern

If you manage property in Findern, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Findern

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
