Bath re-enamelling for Heightington homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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 Heightington

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Heightington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Heightington

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.

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heightington

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Most clients in Heightington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
