Trusted bath re-enamelling in Fish Island

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Fish Island, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fish Island

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fish Island?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fish Island

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What affects the price in Fish Island
