Bath re-enamelling in Gundleton

Bath re-enamelling in Gundleton without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gundleton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gundleton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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