Bath Re-enamelling in Gilmorton

Bath re-enamelling in Gilmorton, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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.

Getting ready for the visit

• Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

• Access to the area
• Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
• Doing more than one item at once
• The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

• The postcode, so we can plan the visit
• What it’s made of, if you know
• A clear, close picture of the problem area
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gilmorton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

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

• Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
• Get any chip repaired quickly
• Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
• Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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