How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gardham

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Gardham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Gardham

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

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

What we are called out for in Gardham

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
