Trusted bath re-enamelling in Framsden

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Framsden

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

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

Questions from Framsden

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Framsden. Prices do not change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Framsden

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

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

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Framsden

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Framsden. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Framsden, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
