How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ganton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Ganton: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ganton

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ganton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

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 for the finish to last.

Landlord and trade work in Ganton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
