Bath re-enamelling near Fradswell

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fradswell

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fradswell as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

When to call us in Fradswell

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Fradswell

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fradswell?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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