Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

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 pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gardenhall

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Gardenhall

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Gardenhall

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

What affects the price in Gardenhall

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Gardenhall. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
