Bath re-enamelling near Freckenham

Bath re-enamelling in Freckenham, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Freckenham

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Questions from Freckenham

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Freckenham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
