Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 the part we put right.

Ivington questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ivington?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ivington included. Travel is included in the price.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ivington

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
