How we handle bath re-enamelling in High Garth

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Garth

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

The process

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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Landlord and trade work in High Garth

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Garth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Garth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

When to call us in High Garth

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

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

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
