Materials and what they mean for the 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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Illey

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Illey

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Illey questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover Illey?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Illey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Illey?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B62 postcode.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Illey

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
