What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Graveley

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Graveley

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Graveley

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

Common questions in Graveley

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

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 you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Graveley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
